Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
In my opinion, your child is suffering from oral thrush.
Oral thrush is a fungal infection of the mouth. It is not contagious and is usually successfully treated with antifungal medication.
It is also called oral candidosis (or candiasis) because it is caused by a group of yeasts called Candida.

In some cases, the symptoms of oral thrush can make eating and drinking difficult.

you can use Nystatin mouth paint 3-4 times daily for 7-14 days to treat it.

Amoxicillin is not the cause in my opinion.
HFMD presents differently.
In case of any further information, do contact us.
